Richard Barnes serves as senior web designer of the NIH.gov website within the OD Online Information Branch at the National Institutes of Health. He began his career in graphic design three decades ago at USDA, when cut-and-paste required an X-ACTO knife and hot wax. (Yes, he has the scars to prove it!) At NIH, Richard produced award-winning print design in the Medical Arts and Photography Branch before being captivated by the Wild World of Web in the mid-nineties.
